Gourley: House District 85 Race Is 'Dank's bold reforms vs. Seal's left-wing backers'

J. Leland Gourley, editor-in-chief of Friday, writes that the race for House District 85 in northwest Oklahoma City pits Republican David Dank's "bold reforms vs. (Democrat Jennifer) Seals' left-wing backers."

He writes that Seal's website scrolls the names of those who have endorsed her, "the AFL-CIO, the state teachers union, the OKC local teachers union, the Teamsters union, the leftist environmental organization (Sierra Club). And screaming Howard Dean's 'Democracy for Americans'."

Gourley writes that "Dave makes specific program promises" that conservative voters will embrace. Dank seeks to succeed his wife, Odilia, in the district. He defeated Chip Keating, son of former Governor Frank Keating, in the GOP primary.
